Hi Malinthra, I added the XML Sitemaps project as some users expressed interest in being able to use http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:GenerateSitemap.php without using the command line. This is not a very urgent project but might be interesting for some. I am no expert in extension development but I imagine it will involve making an extension which creates a Special page to run and schedule GenerateSitemaps.php ,something like what Extension:Maintenance<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Maintenance> does for some maintainance scprits.
